My heart is filled with Joy. Because on December 19th at 12:34pm, my sweet daughter Lily Joy was born. My husband and I have patiently been waiting for our rainbow baby to arrive. And I cannot express the deep love and gratitude we have for this amazing little girl. At this moment, she is sleeping… Continue reading A Moment of Closeness

Five more weeks. And I will meet the child growing inside me. Five more weeks of feeling kicks and watching my belly grow. Of excitedly preparing and waiting to hold our baby. Of reflecting on the goodness of God in every season. And I am in awe of the blessing that it is. To feel… Continue reading A Moment of Blessing

I needed a break. Life has a way of getting to hyper-speed if we let it. And I was starting to feel drained. The amount of energy I was giving throughout the week was not being replenished.

Lately I have sensed God asking for more of my time. But sometimes I just don't feel like giving it. I know what you're thinking, "How could she say that?". But it's true. Finding time to pray and get in my Bible just seems like less and less of a priority. In the busyness of… Continue reading A Moment of Humility
